. INGERSOLL ON WHISKY.

Much has been written and said of the
seducing power of strong drink. How
men are led along the path strewn with
flowers down to the horrible drunkard's
grave Col. r. G. Ingersoll has said some
strong things for temperance. We do not
know how it came about, but he is said to
have sent an old friend, few days ago, a
jug of whisky. With it were the following
lines in the Colonels well known chiro-
graphy: uonderfn,
whisky that ever drove the skeleton from q
feast OF painted the landscapes in the brain
of man. 1t is the mingled souls OF wheat
and corn. In 1t you will find the sunshine
and the shadow that chased each ether
over the billowy fields, the breath OF June,
the carol of the lark, the dews OF night,
the wealth of summer and autumn's rich
content, all golden with imprisoned light
Drink it and you will hear the voice OF
men and maidens sing the Harvest
Home" mingled with the laughter OF
children. Drink it and you will feel within
your blood the star led dawns, the dreamy,
tawny dusks of many perfect days. Fol-
forty years this liquid joy has been within
the happy slaves of oak, longing to touch
the lips of man"

SHAME.

ut is to be settled whether Wichita IS
greater than the state of Kansas" yell a
thousand men and papers in chorus. The
xpression and sentiment originated with a
Missouri paper, whose efforts are just now
being put forth to down Wichita. The
men and papers, whether they be state Off
GERS or official organs, in quoting such hog
wash lend themselves to the defamation OF
one of the grandest, as it is the brightest
city ever boosted by Kansas, and just so
far as they hurt Wichita in just SO far they
hurt every growing town in the state, and
therefore the state itself. We picked up
five Kansas papers yesterday which con-
tanned the words first above quoted, two OF

S. H. Hand, of Hamilton county, re-
c Gently found fossilized fish in the Ken
dali stone quarries. He sent the specimen
to the State University, and received IN re
ply the following communication:
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE,
Nav IA, 1SS7.-To S. II. Hand, Kendall,
Kas.: My Dear Sir:-Yours OF the 9th
duly received. My view about your fine
fish is that it lived and died when what is
now Hamilton county, Kansas-more than
3 600 feet above the sea level-was under
the salt water ocean, Remains OF fishes,
sharks and great sea monsters are abun-
dainty found in Kansas, especially along
the banks of the Smoky Hill river. and It's
branches. In fact, the ocean once cover,
ed the entire western portion OF the United
States. The Rocky mountains was not yet
upheaved when your fish lived and died.
How many millions of years ago that was was
l dare not say-it must have been ,OOO, OOO
wears ago. The scales on your fish show
that it belonged to the same group with
our gar pixies or "Ganoider" fishes:
Yonrs truly. It. II. Snow.

NO DEMAGOGUE
Commonwealth.

Commonwealth.
At the time Senator Gngalls made his
speech at the Grand opera house in this
city on the subject of Ireland's woes and
highlands oppressive acts. the Kansas
City Times took occasion to pronounce
Mr.. Ingalls, demagoge because he es.
poused the Irish cause. On Friday OF
last week, Senator Ingalls,, IN bis very able.
manly, self asserting speech at Abilene,
took grounds upon the subject of wo
man suffrage, which is entirely at variance,
in whole or in part, with the prevailing be
lief and sentiment of this state. No dem
agogue would have dared to do such q
thing. Senator ingalls, has proved that be
has the courage of his convictions to the
fullest extent, that he is as far removed
from resorting to demagogical tricks a.
any public man in the country. The
Times has time yet to do justice to the
fearlessness of Mr.. Ingalls, and to retrac'
its unjust and untruthful remark.
